Device numbers frequently used are listed below. A complete list and definitions are given in
Standard IEEE C37.2. Codes in bold are most commonly used in protective relaying.
1 Master element: normally used for hand-operated devices. A common use is the
spring-return-to-center control switch for circuit breakers, where the switch
contacts are 101T (trip), 101C (close), 101SC (closed when turned to close and
remains closed when released, opens when turned to trip and remains open when
released).
2 Time-delay starting or closing relay: except device functions 48, 62, and 79
